PAT'rERso:l THE GREAT WATCH DOCTOR OPPOSITE QUEEN'S HOTEL IRRIGATE UNDER GROUND. System of Distributing -Water to. Plant. Roots Successful in Texas. One of the most remarkable out- growths of the era of reclamation In the west is a test that has been made near Midland, 'Tex,, of a system of subirrigation whereby water is fed to the roots of plants well under the ground instead of having it percolate down to them from the surface. The success of such a system would add millions of dollars to the yearly profits of farms throughout the west because of the saving of water in places where it is scarce and the better results to be had in the growth of plants. Systems of irrigation generally are based on a flow of water in surface ditches fed from surface canals. It has been found, however, that great waste attends this plan both from seepage and evaporation. In localities where water is scarce these factors are of the utmost importance. Agricultural experts for years have been engaged in an effort to perfect.a system of subirrigation. The great dif- ficulty to be met, however, lay in the plugging of the water outlets when pipes were laid underground. It is necessary that these outlets shall at all times be free if the water is to be dis- tributed properly. It is believed that this problem has been solved under the system in operation near Midland. The experiment has been carried on by wealthy farmers of Kansas, who bought much property' in that vicinity. Their plans were greeted humorously, but they went ahead installing their system. They laid concrete pipes two feet under the surface on a large tract. At short intervals, in these are inserted plugs having openings the size of a pin- hole. Over these holes are laid caps which fit over the pipe in such fashion that only a little room is left for the egress of the water and no room for the, entrance of dirt or roots. It has been found that the water from these holes spreads to a distance of more than sixty feet. Good crops have been grown on the land, and farmers who formerly scoffed at the idea are now figuring on installing similar devices. ---Near York Times: CLEAN DAIRY UTENSILS. To Keep Products Pure They Should Be Sterilized Every Day. If the dairyman is to keep his dairy utensils absolutely clean he must ster- ilize them daily. This is just as neces- sary in the small dairy as in the largo one. The dairyman who milks only a few cows cannot afford an expensive equipment in his dairy room. Many who do a profitable but modest busi- ness believe that a sterilizer is an ex- pensive luxury. Such is not the case. A homemade sterilizer may be made at a cost of not more than $7 or $8. Go to your local tinner or hardware merchant, show him the accompanying cut and tell him to make you a box three and a half feet square of gal- vanized iron, twenty-eight gauge, a lit- tle heavier if he hash't this. It should not IN of lighter weight. All joints should be riveted and soldered closely. This will make a steam tight box, with the exception of the cracks about the door, and will hold enough steam pressure for all practical purposes in sterilizing. The door should be not quite three feet square and should be cut to lap Steam Throe Apt U0 IECMA.DE STERILIZER. ' [From Country Gentleman.] about an inch over all four sides of the opening. Ordinary heavy double strap hinges may be used, fastened with either bolts or rivets. A bolt and staple fastener holds the door shut. The steam may be piped into the top and one side as shown in the illustration. A few holes punched in the bottom will drain off the condensed steam. It should be turned on slowly at first and then gradually be worked up to full forte with thirty or forty pounds of steam in the boiler. A thorough ster- ilization will be accomplished in from ten to fifteen minutes. The writer has used a sterilizer similar to this, which cost $7.50, and found it to be thorough- ly efficient. -Country Gentleman, T.

Slop is feed, not drink. It does not satisfy thirst. Plenty of clean, cool water is essential for successful hog raising. It IS, common sense that a ma- ture sow will produce larger and more perfect pigs than a very young one. It is important that some grain be fed pigs intended for the mar- ket. Treat the herd boar with kind- ness and also with considerable caution. Even the hogs like a variety of feed and will do better if they can get it There is no animal that re- sponds so quickly to good feed and treatment as the pig. 00000000000000000000000000 DAIRY COW OF QUALITY. How a Great Milk and. Butter Producer Was Reared and Fed. BY Professor C. LAARSEN, South Dakota State College.. When we come to analyze the causes which brought about such large milk and butter fat production from College Belle Wayne they are no different from those found back of all other large producing cows. They are principally, first, good milk, and butter fat pro- ducing ancestors or good dairy back- ing in the pedigree; second, good raising; third, 'good feed and care, especially during the time of freshen• ing and the official test. College Belle Wayne, although bred and owned by the South Dakota State college, owes her hereditary producing ability to the combined efforts of many. The special point that should be emphasized in this connection h that College Belle Wayne and her rec• gird are not accidents. This great cess stands as the product of careful selec• tion and intelligent mating. College Belle Wayne has always beer well 'fed. During her growing years she was kept in good flesh, so much so that as a heifer she was frequently pronounced too fat and beefy to de velop into a good dairy cow. She Iva* fed upland wild hay and cornfodder for roughage and ground corn and oats as concentrates. During the summers she had blue grass pasture. College Belle Wayne was not mated very early the first time. She was two and one-half years old when she drop. ped her first calf. This fact together with liberal feed• ing, fresh air and exercise has caused her to develop into a very large cow of wonderful capacity. She weighed 1,890 pounds before she was six years old in just ordinary flesh. The writer did not plan to give her an official test until one year from now, or when she would be seven years old. She already nearly had a twenty-eight pound seven day record.

Farm ana Grden APPLE BLISTER CANKER. Fungus That Causes Serious Losses to. Owners of Apple Orchards. In a circular on the "Apple Blister Canker and Methods of Treatment," issued by the auto agricultural sta• tion, it Is stated that It Is increasingly evident that serious apple diseases must lie back of the reported dying of mature apple trees in many parts of Ohio. Field studies of conditions, sup- plemented by laboratory examination made during the season of 1011 and the early spring of 1012, chow that se- rious cankers are present in these dis- eased orchards. 13y the terra canker reference Is made to any apparent bark So College Belle Wayne was not pre pared for her official test. She was just In ordinary good condition. College Belle Wayne came through her freshening period in an exception- ally good condition. She ran with the herd until Pistil few days before fresh- ening. At this time her udder became so large that she was uncomfortable In the stall. ,She was then transferred to a well bedded box stall having an exercise yard in connection. This stall is not entirely inclosed from the rest of the barn. Here she remained throughout the freshening and testing period. College Belle Wayne received all the roughage she would eat, but was sparsely fed on grain during the first few days after freshening. Her grain ration consisted first of a little bran, oats and ailment. This was gradually increased until she received twenty, four pounds of grain daily in four meals. This consisted of a moisture of eight pounds of ground opts, eight pounds of wheat bran, four pounds of ground corn, four pounds of old process oilmeal and twelve pounds of beets. The roughage consisted of forty pounces of silage, also given in four meals. Fresh clover hay, water and salt she had before her all the time. The clover hay gave otit, and green al- falfa hay was substituted. She bloat- ed on this, which rinsed her milk flow to be reduced considerably. College 1lelle Wnyne was milked ev- ery sit hours- nt 0 In the morning. 12 itt noon, a at night and 12 at midnight At these hours she also received her feed. When feeding and milking time arrived this eow was tip looking with an maim eye for her teed. Iler highest record for one day wall 120.7 pounds of Milk.

In these dis- eased areas the symptoms of dying bark and extension of disease causing an enlargement of the spots are usual- ly evident. In the southern and eastern portions of Ohio the condition known as a "neglected apple orchard" is for the greater part caused by the blister canker fungus. The fungus, being a wound parasite, Is difficult to control when once it has taken hold of a tree, and except in cases of slight attack the tree ulti- mately will succumb to this disease. To prevent infection from the blister canker fungus it is necessary to pre- vent the drying of the tissues, which is done by covering the wound with a suitable dressing. Preventlou of infection and orchard sanitation, as by removal and destruc- tion of diseased parts. appear to be the only methods of control. A WORD FOR OUR FARMERS. It does not follow that the American is a poor farmer be- cause he produces less to the acre. He does this largely be- cause the acre is worth less --be- cause, in other wprds, the man is worth more. The American farmer produces more per year •of labor than does the European farmer; he lives much better; ,•. gives his children a better edu k cation; has for himself more leisure. When land is worth sev- " erat hundred dollars an acre and labor' but half a dollar a clay, then we, too, can make the soil produce more per acre. -Country Gentleman. FOR ACED PEOPLE.
